As soon as he heard the words "Comeback", Yuan Chonghuan's eyes were suddenly full of aura, and he lowered his voice and said: "Brother, you came to observe the trial this time, and it seems that you intended to speak to Yuan. Could it be that this is Mr. Sun's arrangement? ”

Ji Qingwen shook his head and said, "No." Mr. Sun is still outside the customs, and after I sent someone to invite him a few days ago, I was just rushing to Shanhaiguan, and I don't know if it has arrived now. ”

Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said, "Why is it that at this time, Teacher Sun is still outside the gate?" Why don't you go to the emperor to excuse me a few words, are you just letting me fend for myself? ”

As soon as he said three sentences, Yuan Chonghuan exposed his annoying character, so that Ji Qingwen could only frown and say, "Inspector Yuan, don't say this." Mr. Sun is not an unsentimental person, and he is also very old and safe, so he must have other plans. I won't know until I meet Mr. Sun and ask him in person. ”

Yuan Chonghuan took a breath of cold air and said, "My brother is right. Then bother the old brother, go to Shanhaiguan and ask Mr. Sun what his old man thinks. ”

Ji Qingwen replied: "Teacher Sun, I will definitely go." However, I can't rest assured that Inspector Yuan is here, I'm afraid that if I don't listen here, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren will give you a loss and come up with torture to extract confessions. If Inspector Yuan can't hold back and signs the transcript indiscriminately, then there will be no skills. ”

Yuan Chonghuan said nonchalantly: "If you don't work for your brother, Yuan naturally has a way to protect himself." When the Criminal Department interrogated, he clenched the word 'silent', but he didn't speak. Everything will be decided after the elder brother asks Mr. Sun's plan. ”

Ji Qingwen thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so he said: "This is still not safe, Wen Tiren seems to be determined to ask Inspector Yuan for a capital crime." I'm afraid that the few sins he interrogated today are just knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and there should be more powerful trump cards that have not been taken out! I'm afraid that I'm not here, and Inspector Yuan may not be able to get him now. ”

Yuan Chonghuan said: "But just now above the lobby of the Criminal Department, it seems that Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, is Wen Tiren's opponent. With him, presumably Wen Tiren may not be able to do whatever he wants. ”

Ji Qingwen shook his head and said, "Zhou Yanru is just talking about things, and he wants to use Inspector Yuan to compete for power and profit with Wen Tiren, which is not very reliable." In my opinion, the only people I can fully trust now are you, me, and Mr. Sun. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Qingwen suddenly had an idea and said, "I have a way, but I may have to wronged Inspector Yuan." ”

Yuan Chonghuan has been in the prison of the Criminal Department for more than half a year, and he has suffered all the grievances he should have suffered, so he nodded and said, "Okay, brother, just say it."

”

"Faking illness." Ji Qingwen said these two words.

It turned out that the idea he came up with was to put a little laxative in the food he sent to Yuan Chonghuan, and after eating it today, he would inevitably get dysentery the next day. Then when Ji Qingwen was observing, he could use this idea to slightly postpone the date of interrogation of Yuan Chonghuan by a few days. took advantage of this time to go to Shanhaiguan to have a round with Sun Chengzong, and after asking what Sun Chengzong had in mind, he came back to tear up with Wen Tiren.

Although this method is not bright and fair, and it is even a little embarrassing, driven by a strong desire to survive, Yuan Chonghuan still agreed.

The next day, the trial of Yuan Chonghuan's case began in the lobby of the Criminal Department as usual, and Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, and Ji Qingwen also arrived at the court on time for trial as they did yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan had just been brought to the court, and without saying a word, he sat down on the ground with a "poof", his face was as yellow as a candle, sweat was constantly oozing from his head, and his complexion looked very bad.

Wen Tiren panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Chonghuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan ate the laxative meal, pulled all night, was already tortured to the point of great injury, and said intermittently: "Elder Wen Ge, the criminal seems to have dysentery, I'm afraid I can't hear it today......"

In ancient times, when there were no antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, if you really got a bacterial infection such as dysentery, it was often more than lucky, and it was very likely that you would die.

Therefore, Wen Tiren was very nervous, lest Yuan Chonghuan, such an important person, would die in his hands without knowing the facts of the case, and Emperor Chongzhen would not think that he had been fooled, and it would be difficult to investigate it.

So Wen Tiren hurriedly asked with concern, "Yes?" Could it be that you can't eat something bad? ”

Ji Qingwen interjected and said: "It's not surprising, the food in the prison is all messy things, many of them are still rancid, and diarrhea is normal." If Lord Wen doesn't believe it, let the prison bring a few bowls of prison rice, and if you don't know that the adult is delicate and expensive, he will get sick if he smells it......"

Zhou Yanru also added fuel and vinegar, and said: "The Criminal Department is also difficult to return. The imperial court gives a lot of silver every year, but even the basic food is not good, it is too unusual. Lord Wen, you are the secretary of the criminal department, although you can't manage it so carefully, but after all, it is also within the scope of your responsibility, and you have to rectify it when you are free. If the rectification is not effective, don't blame me for not being merciful and writing a chapter to impeach you! ”

After digging deeper, this is indeed Wen Tiren's responsibility, and in the face of successive harsh criticisms, Wen Tiren can only hang his head and admit his mistakes.

But halfway through the words, Wen Tiren felt that something was wrong - he was in charge of the criminal department, and the news was naturally there

Lingtong, knowing that since Ji Qingwen entered Beijing, he has spent a lot of money to buy everything inside and outside the prison, Yuan Chonghuan eats and uses the best things that Ji Qingwen bought from outside the prison, and he has long stopped eating in prison, where did he get dysentery?

Under suspicion, Wen Tiren immediately transferred two Lang Zhong from the criminal department and asked them to take Yuan Chonghuan's pulse and see a doctor on the spot.

These two Lang Zhong were naturally bought by Ji Qingwen, and they replied with a confident look: "Master Hui Shangshu, Yuan Chonghuan has a bad stomach, and it is common in prison, put it in a clean cell, drink today's porridge and eat a few meals, maybe it will be fine." If it's not good...... That's a problem......"

Before Lang Zhong finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan raised his hand again and said: "Forgive me, several adults, I'm afraid that the guilty minister will not work again, can you be kind and let the criminal minister go down to make it convenient?" ”

Wen Tiren had no reason to refuse, so he could only wave his hand and let Yuan Chonghuan go down to the hall to.

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan leave, Ji Qingwen spoke: "Two adults, I am ordered to be an observer, and I should not speak as usual. But Yuan Chonghuan's appearance is really impossible to judge, if he dies in the hall like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor. ”

Wen Tiren glanced at Ji Qingwen and said, "Although Yuan Chonghuan is a serious jinshi, he has always been leading the army in Liaodong, and his body has always been tough, and he has never heard of any illness in the prison for more than half a year. So why don't you get sick today sooner rather than later? According to my subordinates, after retiring from the hall yesterday, Lord Ji once said a few words to Yuan Chonghuan in person in the Temple of the Prison God, I wonder if Yuan Chonghuan has anything to do with Lord Ji when he is sick today? ”

Ji Qingwen smiled: "Lord Wen is interrogating me?" Don't forget, I have the same friendship with Yuan Chonghuan, shouldn't I go and see him? is that Yuan Chonghuan is really guilty, and he wants to send it to the vegetable market to be cut off, and the first cup of send-off wine is also my respect! As for the relationship...... You, Lord Wen, are the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, so naturally you can send someone from the Criminal Department to investigate! ”

Wen Tiren was stunned for a moment, and thought: Ji Qingwen has money and soldiers in his hands, and now he is the emperor's grace, and hundreds of officials in the imperial court, including himself, have also taken gold worth millions of taels of silver from him, and his strength can be described as unfathomable, and it is not a good idea to offend him - if Ji Qingwen joins forces with Zhou Yanru, and then unites Sun Chengzong, who is leading troops outside, to attack him, I am afraid that his second assistant to the cabinet will come to an end.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren could only soften and said: "Don't, don't misunderstand Lord Ji, this official doesn't mean this." Alas! Forget it, it seems that Yuan Chonghuan is indeed very ill, and it will be too embarrassing for the court to be tried like this. It's better to be like this, I am on duty in the cabinet today, and Yuan Chonghuan will be detained in the prison temple first, and after the official asks the emperor for instructions, the decision will be made by the saint! ”
